Jake Munoz

Jacob (Jake) graduated from Indiana University Indianapolis in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, majoring in Exercise Science. Born and raised in Westfield, Indiana, Jake found his passion for physical therapy through his undergraduate coursework, where he developed a strong interest in helping others live healthier, pain-free lives. For Jake, physical therapy is the perfect intersection of movement, wellness, and meaningful human connection.

Clinically, Jake is most interested in pediatric and geriatric physical therapy, as well as gait and balance training. He’s especially intrigued by dry needling after observing its growing use in the clinics he’s worked in and hopes to pursue further training in this area. Jake enjoys seeing the progress patients make throughout their care and finds it incredibly rewarding to celebrate those milestone “graduation” moments after forming close bonds throughout the therapy process.

Outside of the clinic, Jake stays active through lifting, running, hiking in state and national parks, and playing basketball. He also enjoys DJing EDM music, cooking hearty and healthy meals, and wire-wrapping jewelry using copper and aluminum wire. Looking ahead, Jake plans to apply to physical therapy school next summer to continue his journey toward becoming a licensed Physical Therapist.
